At least you did take a small profit in the end, the car cleaned up really nice and as you did the final exterior shots I kept thinking someone will get a really nice car for their money with no unexpected surprises (as you fixed it properly). That has aged better than most mini MPV type cars and has the badge cachet that attracts people too.

I have this but silver, same age, bought mine 4 years ago for £1850 as has a mark on 1 door. Full merc history which ive kept up. Thats not a cup holder, you press it and a storage draw pops out. I love mine, but glad it doesn't have those headlights as i had a very expensive repair on another car with those type. Im still watching so haven't seen the conclusion yet lol hope its a profit. Love the sandwich floor safery feature, im sure you know, but in a front end collision the engine goes into the floor space to protect your legs. Edit, well that was a shame on the no profit, but you've turned it into a lovely purchase for whoever buys it 😊

Fair price achieved after 8 years. No complaints from either of us. Being an ex rental car, it was a Classic or basic model.

Matt, thanks for saving this one. I have a previous shape W168 A160 LWB. The leg room in the rear is insanely large. Back seats completely remove, even the front passenger seat, you could sleep in it if you wanted. A very smart package, and a great city car. Look after the gearbox with regular fluid changes, and fresh engine oil every year or 10,000km. It won't be fun to change things like water pump, alternator, or starter motor (if and when they go) or serpentine belt, but with a ramp most things can be done by the home mechanic. A clever car that was meant to bring younger buyers to the brand, but instead the senior citizens loved it. It was killed off in about 2010 with the W169 (the same shape as your one here Matt) and over 1 million examples made. I'll keep driving the wombat as long as it keep going (wombat, because it is grey, flat nosed, and slow). Many who poke fun at the car have never ridden in one or owned one. Keep fighting the good fight Matt.

Great video, Matt, it is always a pleasure to hear the vast list of broken things on a Merc or similar, where the owner of the car who sold it appears to have less class than it does. I like your optimism as you roll into the car park, and here am I saying hmmm... Can't wait for the next, we need an older Alfa to compare the horrors of ownership costs compared to a mainstream car.

They are exceptionally practical cars. In the one I had (SWB) I could get 3 kids in the back and a tumble drier in the boot in that deep recess. The rear seats and sometimes the passenger seat are removable and that flat floor make it an excellent transporter. Picked up an Alfa 3 litre V6 in mine too - like a van. The front ARB mounts needed changing more frequently than the oil (maybe that clunk).

@@NicholasRiviera-Dr the car was given to us by my wife's father when he retired,he did not have it from new but it was low milage and he did very little mileage, when he gave it to us it was about 10 years old and I think it only had 22K on the clock,it is still in immaculate condition,it has been garaged all it's life, when the gearbox went ,(it would not change gear suddenly) ,we suspect it was because we had been towing a trailer full of wood, possibly the cause or it was just worn out,we had to make a decision,sell it as scrap, which would have been such a shame or get it repaired,so our local garage, , they are 3 good mechanics looked and said they can't fix it but they had searched online and found a company in Stuttgart who can, so the lads dismantled the gear box sent it and then refitted it , this was 2 years ago and fingers crossed she is still running a treat,I think the repair was the right decision

I like this used car dealer. Saving cars that are 90ish% ok from the scrap yard to drive again. Just do them a bit more cost conscious. Keep up the good work.
